description:

Underlying rationale for the project: "The existence of clandestine and poorly regulated migration agencies coupled with a poor regulatory environment and vulnerabilities such as poverty, lack of choice and poor education have resulted in communities and individuals being unable to make informed choices regarding labour migration, nor to advocate for their own rights and protection. While the protection of migrant workers has been identified as a priority within successive national development plans of Indonesia, progress towards the protection of migrant workers has proven insufficient to protect migrant workers from exploitation and abuse both domestically and within receiving countries[1] ". This lesson came from the mid-term evaluation of the project's first phase and is still valid. This evaluator notes that it is valid to try to tackle migrant domestic worker vulnerabilities through awareness raising, advocacy and technical cooperation with the view to improved policy and legislative measures. It is appropriate to provide protection, outreach, livelihoods and reintegration services to migrant domestic workers, particularly those most vulnerable to forced labour and trafficking. It is valid to combine these efforts with work on improving the capacity of government and other key stakeholders to combat forced labour and trafficking.
